Passenger Princess

Updated: Nov 30



Taking Back the Wheel


We’ve all heard the term Passenger Princess—that vibe of leaning back in the car, letting your partner take the wheel, and simply enjoying the ride. There’s something undeniably appealing about it: the chance to relax, relinquish control, and just be. And sure, it’s fun to let someone else “drive” from time to time—especially when it feels like they have it all under control.


But here’s the truth: life isn’t always a smooth ride. What happens when the driver gets tired, falls ill, or can’t carry on? If you’ve been gazing out the window, blissfully unaware, you might find yourself in a tough spot.


What My Mom Taught Me About Preparedness


My mom was a prime example of grace and strategy in action. She wasn’t just a Passenger Princess—she was my dad’s co-pilot, Chief of Staff, and CEO of our family. Together, they didn’t just live day to day—they planned for the unexpected.


When my dad got cancer and passed away, it shook our family to the core. But because my mom had skills, a business, and financial savvy—and because my parents planned for life’s “what-ifs”—she was okay. Grieving, yes, but not homeless. Her planning meant that, even in the darkest moments, she had a foundation to stand on.


And this is the lesson I’ve carried with me ever since: It’s better to cry in a Corvette than a cardboard box.


Why I Started Pretty Pensions


Too many women don’t have a plan, often because they assume someone else is “handling it.” But emergencies don’t come with warnings, and even the best relationships need strong partners on both sides. That’s where Pretty Pensions comes in.


This blog is here to give you the confidence and tools to plan boldly and retire beautifully. The “pretty way” is all about empowerment through education, strategy, and action in three critical areas:

  2. Insurance & Risk Management: To protect yourself and your loved ones from life’s curveballs.

  3. Long-Term Planning: Most women outlive their partners. Let’s make sure that future is secure—and fabulous.
